Invest In Yourself: The Dividends Are Endless

Over the past month's, I've been thinking about how I could invest in myself. It's not a message that I recsaved over the years to do such a thing, quite the contrary. It has been over the last 5 plus years I really invested in my happiness and my relationships by taking all kinds of chances. With each chance, each risk, I have taken I have been led to amazing things ranging from meeting incredible humans, to learning, to feeling energized more and more in my later years.

As a woman, and dare I say a woman of a certain age, the messaging isn't about how can you live your fullest life by investing in your happiness. As I approach my 60th year this November, I think about the adventures, the connections, the learning, I want to invest in for the rest of my life. I mistakenly thought there was a big rush often saying to anyone in conversation I have about 20 good years left in my life and in doing so, it put this sense of urgency that really wasn't about investing my time wisely. Instead, a wise investment with a coach has helped me realize that yes there is ample opportunity to explore and learn but really, there's no rush.

My question for you today is, how do you invest in yourself? Do you go out and explore, learn, connect?

When I look at this photo of me as a very young girl, I had no idea that at 59 years old I would be living a life of my choosing and a life full of adventure. I don't live a life of regret, yet had I known at that tender age that opportunity to invest in myself with lead to great things, you bet I would have done so!

These days, given the chance, I hope to inspire the women in my life to invest time and energy in living lives of their choosing. I mean, being a broad on adventure is a whole lotta fun!
